Roland PD-9: A Versatile Electronic Drum Pad for Enhancing Your Drumming Experience

The Roland PD-9 is an electronic drum pad that offers a natural and expressive playing feel for drummers of all skill levels. With its advanced dual-trigger technology, the PD-9 accurately captures the nuances of your playing, providing realistic and dynamic response. The pad's 9-inch playing surface is made of a durable rubber material, ensuring a solid and consistent feel.

Please use the PD-7 or PD-9 as a snare/tom/cymbal pad.

To connect the PD-7 or PD-9 to a Roland sound module equipped with a trigger interface (such as the TD-7 or SPD-

11), use the supplied stereo cable. If you use a monaural cable, you will not be able to obtain the rim-shot and

choking techniques.

For a detailed explanation about this function, see page 4.

As shown below, you can attach the PD-7 or PD-9 to a drum stand in two different ways. To change the angle for

inserting the rod, first loosen the Stand Fixing Screw and then rotate the eyebolt by degrees.

NOTE If you use method B, do not try to insert the rod into the eyebolt by force, as it will not go any further than a

predetermined point.

The kick pedal is not included in this package. The KD-7 can be used with any kick pedal on the market.

To set up the KD-7 with the Sound Module, use the supplied stereo cable.

Connecting another KD-7 to the MIX IN jack on the first KD-7 lets you fine-tune

the output of the two KD-7 units with the Output Level control. To lower the

unit's output level, use a flathead screwdriver to turn the Output Level control

counterclockwise. The Output Level control should normally be left at its

maximum setting.

For a detailed explanation about this function, see page 4.

Connecting the OUTPUT jack on another KD-7 to the MIX IN jack on the first KD-7 lets you use the setup as a double kick drum. To use MIX IN jack, you

will need to re-adjust the trigger parameter on the sound module, since the output level will be reduced compared with times when only one KD-7 is used.

Be sure that you connect the second KD-7 to the MIX IN jack.

Attach as shown and securely fasten the screw of the kick pedal. After a long period of operation, the mechanical components for the KD-7 (such as Beater

and/or Sensor) may deteriorate. At the appropriate time, these parts should be replaced. Component parts are available at the retailer from whom you have

purchased your KD-7. For details, contact the authorized Roland distributor or local Service Station in your country.

The beater should be connected as shown in this figure.

Using your kick pedal, adjust the height of the foot

plate so that the beater strikes the rubber pad

squarely.

shown in this figure:

Rotate the anchor bolt to

join it to the foot plate and

then adjust the height.

Connect the FD-7 to the Hi-Hat Control Jack on the TD-5, TD-7, TD-10 or SPD-11 using the supplied stereo cable.

If you have connected the FD-7 to the Hi-hat Control Jack on the SPD-11, set the [HH CONT/EXT 4] select switch to

the HH CONT position.

This adjusts the load (feel) of the pedal.

Connect this jack to the sound module.

Fasten this firmly when you use the FD-7.

You can adjust the travel of the pedal by changing the length of the Rod.

NOTE When the FD-7 is not going to be used for a long period of time, set the Rod as shown fig b. Do not leave the FD-7 for

a long time with the Pedal Plate depressed.

To use the FD-7 on a loop type carpet, attach the tapes as shown in the figure. Before

attaching the tapes, be sure to remove any dirt or dust from the FD-7. Note that once

the tape has been attached and then removed, it will be less adhesive.

You can adjust the travel of the

pedal by changing the length of

the Rod.

The PD-7, PD-9, and KD-7 are equipped with Polarity Switches which change the polarity of the trigger signal

generated by hitting the PD-7/PD-9/KD-7. Set the Polarity Switch to the position required by the trigger interface

you are using. If the polarity is not correct, the sound level may be reduced or the signal delayed. Set it to the “–”

position when using a TD-5 , TD-10 or SPD-11. When using a TD-7, either position will do.

–

When the Polarity Switch is set to the “+” position, the trigger

signal will begin on the positive side of the ground level.

When the Polarity Switch is set to the “–” position, the trigger

Never use or store the unit in places that are:

Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an

enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-

generating equipment); or are

Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are

Humid; or are

Dusty; or are

Subject to high levels of vibration.

To prevent accidents, never allow small children to play near

the drum kit.

When attaching the pads to the mounts, be sure to tighten the

stand fixing screws securely. If any of them remain loose, the

pad could fall off.

The KD-7 is provided with an anchor bolt which prevents it

from sliding while being played. Please be careful so as not to

hurt yourself while setting it.

While playing the KD-7, please be careful so as not to get

anything caught between the pad face and the beater.

While playing the FD-7, please be careful so as not to get

anything caught under the pedal plate.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices

that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or

otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat

can deform or discolor the unit.

Although the PD-7,PD-9,KD-7 and FD-7 were carefully

designed so as to reduce to the absolute minimum the

unwanted sound that might be produced when played

(impact and other operational sounds), even small amounts of

such vibrational sounds can quite easily be transmitted

through floors and walls. For this reason, we suggest that you

exercise caution (especially in the late hours of the night) to

avoid disturbing others within your residence or the

immediate neighborhood.
